Taking a break {PANSY&LUCIOUS

[callie]

Pansy Parkinson was in a place it wasn't good to be seen in. Knockturn Alley was no place for students but she didn't care. It was a well known fact her family was involved in the Dark Arts and they expected nothing more from the perfect pureblood daugter of the perfect pureblood heritage. Pansy liked Knockturn Alley, in some ways she felt at home with the dark objects and the people were the same as her; equals, where as at Hogwarts they let in all kinds of filth these days.
Pansy was on her way to a small bar at the ens of the Alley which was quite new and clean in comparison to the old and grubby places one would usually associate with Dark wizards. Pansy may only be 15 but a small cocktail never hurt anyone her mother always said and it wasnt as if a place like this would listen to laws on ages. You would be half pushed to find a Slytherin or Dark Wizard of any kind who hadn't drank, smoked, and had sex by age 15. Pansy deffinatly had a bit of a reputation for these things, she was called a slag or slut by many of the other students but she didnt care. In her eyes it was better to have a infamous reputation than non at all. At least she was getting attention and thats all she cared about.
Pansy arrived at the small bar and took a seat near the back, alone. Although Pansy loved her friends dearly she sometimes needed a break from the hecktic world of gossip. Pansy ordered her drink and sat playing with a cocktail stick thinking of her friends and their tails, and of course Draco Malfoy whome she did indeed crush on.

Lucius was one on his of regular visits to Knockturn alley. It was a dark and gloomy place, but it was good to visit, particularly with his reputation. He had taken the afternoon off work and had headed here for a drink rather than returning straight home as he knew Narcissa was out at a friends.
he headed past Murder's Way, a grimy disgusting pub full of seedy characters who wouldn't hesitate to stab you on sight.
Instead he stopped and entered a newish bar with a far better reputation than anywhere else on the street, it was cleaner and while still full of wanted people, there was less fighting. He approached the bar and ordered a firewhiskey, as he waited for the guy to get it, he looked around the room and someone caught his eye.
She was sitting alone at the back, part of her face hid in shadows, but he recognized her instantly. The man returned with his drink and he quickly ordered another, one he remembered his God-daughter liking.

Taking the two drinks he walked over the table and placing her's on the hard wood.
"Devil's Advocate, firewhiskey and gillywater tonic...I seem to remember you liking that?"
His voice was low and smooth, like a purr. The tall, handsome man stood over her, smirking down at Pansy.
"May I?" He gestured the the chair opposite to her.

Pansy watched customers exit and enter the bar though not really taking notice of them. When Pansy was miles away the throngs of people seemed to blur into one steady stream. The general population in this room was alot nicer than two doors down for example where most of the customers were more like inhabitents because they never left, downing their sorrows as it were. Pansy had heard that every few months the ministry would clear out those places and fill a few more cells in Azkaban. It wasnt worth a drink for a prison sentence to the more upper class Dark Wizards who occupied this room.

Pansy looked up at the sound of glasses clattering onto the woodern table. She smiled as she saw her god-father standing opposite her, putting two glasses onto her table. Lucious Malfoy spoke in a almost slitherin snake like tone which was found calming by his allies, but threating to his enimys Pansy supposed. Pansy smiled at the father like figure infront of her "Yes, please, take a seat." She nodded towards the chair he stood beside "Yes I do rather like it, very well remembered, thank you" Pansy added in her rather girlish light tone. Lucious Malfoy was rather like a second father to her, of couse the two pureblood families were close, the only difference between Mr Malfoy and her real father was that Malfoy had never raised a hand to her.

Lucius took the seat with a gracious nod of his head, silently thanking her for allowing him to. Not that she had much chance of course, to refuse would be incredibly offensive and he knew Pansy was from a strict family who had brought her up with proper pure blood manners.
He took a sip of his drink and smirked across the table at her.
"So what's a nice girl like you doing in a sleazy place like this, Pansy?"
he was teasing her obviously, he knew full well that most purebloods drank and had sex by the age of fifteen. It wasn't a problem for him, as long as they weren't caught being stupid, didn't hurt themselves or get each other pregnant they could do whatever the fuck they liked.
Reaching behind him he undid the emerald ribbon holding his long platinum blonde hair in a plait and let it flow around his shoulders, it was far easier to relax that way.
